CGiii Comment
This film would have benefited - greatly - from a severe pruning.
Most scenes are overly long and under-developed...what should have been the highlights - the theatrical performances - are distinctly under-whelming and fatally impotent.
Lack of structure, too many loose threads (and ends)...and, an inconclusive conclusion that will infuriate.
Mightily ambitious, maddeningly mis-managed.
Trailer...
The(ir) Blurb...
1978. While the military coup that assaulted Brazil in 1964 starts to teeter, we follow a romance involving an 18 years old soldier and the cultural ringleader of an anarchist cabaret. Tattoo depicts the conflicts and reflections of a whole generation observed from a marginal perspective. Through the vantage point of the exception, the film elucidates the norm.
